UPDATES Design w/ a 2nd Purpose (where did the time go?)

As summer was slipping through our grasps I lost track of time and its about time to check in again on the Design w/ a 2nd Purpose program:

July '09
10% of design job profits from July were donated to the San Diego Foundation, supporting the community needs in and around San Diego County. As a livelong Southern California, it was good to support the community around me. Thank you to all the clients who contributed to this donation.

August '09
Somehow I missed updating the August efforts. 10% of August profits have been rolled into September (see below).

September '09
Wow, autumn is upon us, its harvest time, and September is Hunger Action Month. For these reasons and more, 10% of design profits this month (and last month) will be donated to Feed America.

UPDATE: Our portfolio of Kiva.org investors (from June '09's donations) are paying back their loans -- already providing enough for another loan, this time to a family in Mexico. More to come soon!

As I continue this program, I would like to open this up to this blog's followers: recommend your charities and non-profits! If it seems like a worthy effort, the organization will receive a donation in an upcoming month. Comment on this blog entry or email me nickzynda@gmail.com
